Kids These Days of the Day: Four classmates from a Long Island’s Riverhead High School were suspended for one day after they created a “hazard” by Tebowing in the middle of the school’s main hallway. 

Tebowing involves kneeling and bowing in the style of Denver Broncos QB Tim Tebow’s signature post-touchdown gesture.

“It was more than a religious thing,” said suspended student Connor Carroll. “There was some of that involved obviously, because he prays. I guess it was basically like a moment of silence.”

He went on to say that the school didn’t warn him and his brother Tyler against tebowing in the hallway, despite their claim to the contrary. The other two students later had their suspension rescinded after the school admitted they weren’t warned.

Administrators say some 40 students have been Tebowing in the hall every day for a week, and the Internet fad had become a “distraction.”

“This is not about religious discrimination,” Riverhead School District Superintendent Nancy Carney told the New York Post. “It is about being sure kids are able to get to class on time and keeping the kids safe and orderly.”

Carney disputes Connor’s claim that their was no pushing or shoving or other safety issues involved. A video posted to YouTube (below) appears to side with Carney.

A whole year of CONAN condensed into four wonderfully convulsion-inducing minutes? Yup. This is that.

Y’know i’ve had to deal with some of the worst stuff ever, like look what I had to tell this Bosnian woman! Look your village is gone, it’s been pillaged, they took everything and they burned it down and it’s really sad for you y’know? But y’know we have to look at it from both sides of the equation here. Y’know that’s what it is and you have to learn from it and I apologise, I do!
